Bounce. That was all he could do. Baby Doll and Botan kept moving him along on the other side. Masayuki didn’t get time to rest. How long were they going to keep doing this? Sometimes, he didn’t get a chance to look around.

Are you okay?

“Yeah. Just breathless,” Masayuki said.

Try to keep up, okay? We can’t carry you the whole way.

The boy looked up at the sky. By now, he was starting to catch on to what the goal was for this. Still, he had questions.

“Hey,” Masayuki spoke up.

Yeah?

“How am I supposed to get her soul back?” he asked. “I was in the right place, but you put me off-course.”

We had to or else he would’ve grabbed you.

“Who exactly are we running from?” the boy asked. Masayuki turned his head when heard he heard a rumbling noise. He had to crouch down into a ball and hold his breath. A hand was rested on his head. Masayuki looked up, but he saw nothing.

“What was that?” he asked.

It’s time to go again.

“Huh?” the boy asked. He felt his body being picked off the non-existent ground. Masayuki could feel his heart pounding up to his ears. This time, he took in slower breath as the started to fly away. The boy still had his questions about why he was being diverted on his mission. Masayuki closed his eyes.

Who is after me? Who exactly is he?

A really bad guy.

Yeah, but who is he really? Does he have a name? Have you even seen his face? He couldn’t feel anyone looking at him. Maybe he wasn’t going to get an answer at all? Masayuki was tempted to try and ask again.

I haven’t seen his face.

Masayuki looked up at the air over his head. What?

I was taken out of Heaven when they were taking in new souls. I don’t exactly remember what happened. One minute, I was on my way to class and then I was here. The only thing that I’ve seen was his hands. Botan growled to himself.

If I have to see his brass ring again, I will do something crazy.

What does he want with you and Baby?

Botan sighed. He wants to take over Heaven for himself.

So, he’s trying to start a war?

In a way, yes. And yes, it would end the world. The angel sighed to himself. Masayuki frowned as his body flew through a giant pink cloud. Small shocks started dance along where his skin should be.

You’re going to have to brace yourself. We’re about to hit a nasty storm. Botan’s voice faded into a hazy of static. Masayuki ripped open his eyes. All he could see around him was pink. If he had his body with him, he would probably feel sick. Everything around him start to move faster.

Masayuki! Masayuki!

The boy looked around in the speeding pink clouds. He looked ahead him to see a white hand reaching out towards him.

Don’t let go!

Masayuki! The hand drew closer to him. His jaw dropped.

“Baby Doll?” the boy asked.
